When does I’m a Celebrity South Africa 2026 start? Everything we know as ITV shares first look
I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! has ascended to veritable national treasure status, with the show having run for a whopping 25 seasons!
Back in 2023, the show announced that it was debuting an all stars version of the original format, which would bring back previous contestants to compete one more time. Rather than taking place in Australia, the show was set in South Africa and was pre-recorded instead of being aired live.
When the show didn’t return the following year, we were worried that it had been shelved. However, ITV confirmed that there would be a second season in September. Now, it has just dropped an exciting new teaser for the show and revealed that it will be returning in 2026.
